Just looking at my James Bond Warner rental tapes. How many times have we seen the original Bond artwork ignored for those damn awful cut and paste jobs by MGM/Warner and MGM/Fox on DVD and Blu Ray back in the 00's. The steelbook market needed those original Bond poster artwork applied to a limited edition set, and same has to be said for the first six Star Wars films. Totally forgetting the Disney monstrosities that followed on from Return of the Jedi. I certainly won't be buying this set if Enzo Sciotti's brilliant artwork isn't placed on that Empire Strikes Back. **** Disney.

Are these releases the original theatrical releases or the Lucas farting rodent versions?

I wouldn't buy anything again that wasn't the theatrical versions.

I don't think these are the theatrical versions. Disney prefers the newer versions that have been tampered around with. I don't honestly believe Disney will ever release the theatrical versions. Though I do have those Laserdisc versions put out on DVD quite sometime ago. I think that's going to be the best option for those people after the unaltered versions. Or VHS rental and retail.

Top quality magnetic covers.At only 6 quid each they’re well worth it.
In fact just ordered a Terminator and Exorcist magnet as well.

Wishing now I hadn’t paid a scalper for Star Wars and ROTJ steelbooks.

I’ll be holding on to my Empire steely with its new magnet unless Zavvi change the artwork.
